Elon Musk Responds To Wild Speculation That 3I/ATLAS Is An Alien Spaceship | IFLScience
Added: Nov 15, 2025SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Responds To Wild Speculation That 3I/ATLAS Is An Alien Spaceship
Site: IFLScience
The SpaceX CEO offered his expertise on the topic.
Elon Musk, the world's richest man and CEO of private space firm SpaceX, has weighed in on the topic of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, and the hypothesis that it may be an alien mothership (spoiler alert: it isn't ). On July 1, 2025, astronomers at the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System spotted an object hurtling through our Solar System at a velocity that would soon take it right back out again. Soon, other telescopes turned towards the object, now known to be a comet, and found that it was indeed on an escape trajectory. The Solar System had its third confirmed interstellar visitor, after 2017's 1I/'Oumuamua and 2019's 2I/Borisov. It's an interesting object, and one scientists are very keen to get a better look at. The key reason being that it is an interstellar object that may have been traveling alone for around 10 billion years, a time capsule from an earlier age of the universe, and a traveler from a different part of our galaxy. But the reason why it has drawn a little more attention is because of wild ( and incorrect ) speculation that it may be an alien spacecraft. This was first proposed by Harvard astronomer and physicist Avi Loeb, who initially proposed it as a pedagogical, or "teaching", exercise when the comet was on its way to perihelion, the closest approach to the Sun, which occurred on October 30. According to Loeb, an alien spacecraft wishing to conceal a maneuver may choose to do so when it reaches perihelion, where it will be hidden from our view behind the Sun. While this hypothesis has been dismissed as unnecessary by astronomers at NASA, SETI, and pretty much the entire astronomical community, now it is time for the real heavyweights to weigh in: Elon Musk and UFC commentator turned podcaster Joe Rogan. In an interview for The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Rogan asked the X owner if he was paying attention to 3I/ATLAS, "whatever it is". Musk was quick to step in and shut down alien speculation, referring to the object, correctly, as a comet. "One thing I can say is like, look, if I was aware of any evidence of aliens, Joe, you have my word. I will come on your show and I will reveal it on the show," Musk told Rogan. Unhelpfully, Musk did briefly say "it could be aliens, I don't know", before Rogan weighed in again, saying that Loeb had said something that day about how the object had "changed course". While it is unclear exactly what Loeb quote he was referring to, it is likely that the object's trajectory has changed slightly, but this is not itself evidence that the object is a spacecraft making a maneuver. As explained by Loeb himself in a blog post, 3I/ATLAS has undergone a "radial acceleration away from the Sun of 1.1x10^{-6} au per day squared", as well as a "transverse acceleration relative to the Sun’s direction of 3.7x10^{-7} au per day squared". That might sound odd, but it is not unexpected, nor a sign that it is an alien spaceship. As comets approach the Sun, they are heated and lose mass by outgassing, where the volatile ices on their surface vaporize, and conservation of momentum tells us the object undergoes a resulting acceleration. Its course changed because it's a comet approaching the Sun, behaving like a comet approaching the Sun. Next, Rogan brought up the unusual amount of nickel on the object, implying that this could be a sign that it is an alien spacecraft, adding incorrectly that the only way that exists on Earth is in industrial alloys. Here, Musk was a lot more helpful in showing his space credentials. "No, there are definitely comets and asteroids which are primarily made of nickel," he told the host. "So the places where you mine nickel on Earth are actually where there was an asteroid or comet that hit Earth that was nickel-rich. Nickel-rich deposits... are from impacts. You definitely didn't want to be there at the time because anything would have been obliterated. But that's where the sources of nickel and cobalt are these days." With this, Rogan moved on to his next point, reading a Reddit post quoting an Avi Loeb blog post about the "first hint of non-gravitational acceleration that something other than gravity is affecting its acceleration, meaning something is affecting its trajectory beyond gravity was indicated". As already explained, this was likely the result of outgassing of a comet. Rogan again tried to say that nickel was only found in manufacturing. Musk pointed out a second time that there are plenty of nickel-rich objects out there in the cosmos, before pivoting to his real area of expertise, pointing out "It'll be a very sort of heavy spaceship if you make it all out of nickel." With Musk not playing ball on the "alien mothership" scenario, the two moved on to how much destruction the object would cause if it hit Earth. "It would like obliterate a continent type of thing," Musk told Rogan. "Maybe worse. Probably kill most of human life. If not all of us," he added, though there is no suggestion that the object could hit Earth at all. All in all, Musk was keen to stress that there is a natural explanation for the object. As every astronomer has been screaming for the past few months, it is a comet.

Music reorganizes brain activity to enhance our sense of time
Added: Nov 15, 2025Music reorganizes brain activity to enhance our sense of time
Site: PsyPost - Psychology News
A recent study shows that listening to music temporarily reorganizes brain networks related to time perception.
A new study published in the journal <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/psyp.70118"><em>Psychophysiology</em> </a>reveals that listening to music can alter brain connectivity and improve a person's ability to estimate the passage of time. The research offers a window into how auditory experiences can temporarily reshape brain function and how long-term training creates a more resilient neural architecture for processing time.
The perception of time is a fundamental cognitive process, allowing us to judge durations and sequence events. This internal sense of timing is not perfectly constant; it can be influenced by external factors, including music, which can act as a powerful synchronizing agent for brain rhythms.
A team of researchers from the University of Guadalajara, led by neuroscientist Julieta Ramos-Loyo, sought to understand the neural underpinnings of this phenomenon. Building on previous work that showed music could improve timing accuracy in non-musicians, they designed a study to directly compare the brain activity of musicians and non-musicians to see how their neural networks responded differently to a musical cue before a timing task.
To investigate these brain dynamics, the scientists focused on the concept of functional connectivity. This refers to the synchronized activity between different brain regions, indicating that they are communicating and working together as a network.
Using electroencephalography, a technique that measures electrical activity from the scalp, they could map these communication patterns. They assessed the brain networks using several key metrics. One is global efficiency, which measures how well information is integrated across the entire brain, reflecting the efficiency of long-range connections. Another is local efficiency, which gauges the brain’s capacity for specialized processing within densely interconnected local clusters of regions. A third measure, network density, quantifies the overall strength of connections within the brain.
The investigation involved two groups of young men: one composed of 26 individuals with over a decade of formal musical training and another with 28 individuals with no such training. Each participant performed a time production task, which required them to estimate a 2.5-second interval by pressing a key. They completed this task under two conditions: once in silence and once after listening to a segment of instrumental electronic music. The researchers recorded their brain's electrical activity at rest, while listening to the music, and during both versions of the timing task.
Analysis of the behavioral results confirmed the researchers’ initial expectations about timing ability. The non-musicians tended to overestimate the 2.5-second interval when performing the task in silence. After listening to music, however, their accuracy improved significantly, with their estimates becoming closer to the target duration.
In contrast, the musicians were more accurate than the non-musicians from the outset and showed no change in their performance after hearing the music. Their highly trained sense of time appeared less susceptible to influence from the external musical stimulus.
The brain connectivity data provided a potential explanation for these behavioral differences. Even in a resting state, before any task began, the brains of musicians and non-musicians were organized differently. Musicians exhibited a greater number of long-distance connections that linked frontal and posterior regions of the brain.
Non-musicians, on the other hand, showed more localized connectivity, with stronger connections within separate anterior and posterior clusters. This suggests that the musicians' brains maintain a more globally integrated network as a baseline state.
These distinct patterns became more pronounced during the experiment. Across all conditions, the musicians’ brains displayed consistently higher global efficiency. This indicates that their neural networks are configured for more effective, large-scale communication, allowing for the rapid integration of information from distributed brain regions. This globally efficient network may support their superior and more stable time-keeping abilities.
Conversely, the brains of non-musicians showed higher local efficiency. This pattern points toward a more segregated mode of processing, where specialized information is handled within localized modules rather than being integrated across the entire brain.
The overall network density was also higher in musicians, suggesting a greater number of functional connections were active in their brains throughout the tasks. Listening to music appeared to modulate the connectivity of non-musicians, particularly by strengthening connections in posterior brain regions, which coincided with their improved timing performance.
The researchers propose that these findings reflect two different strategies for processing time, shaped by experience. The non-musicians' more malleable, locally organized network benefited from the synchronizing effect of the music, which may have helped to organize the neural activity needed for the timing task.
The musicians' brains, molded by years of training, already operate with a highly integrated, globally efficient network optimized for temporal processing. This pre-existing state of organization makes them both more accurate at timing and less influenced by external cues.
The study is not without its limitations. The participants were all young men, so the findings may not generalize to women or individuals in other age groups. The experiment also used a single piece of electronic music at a moderate tempo; different musical genres or speeds could yield different results.
Future research could explore these variables to build a more complete picture of how music interacts with the brain’s time-keeping mechanisms. Additionally, physiological measures of arousal could help determine its contribution to the observed effects.
The study, “<a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/psyp.70118">Listening to Music Modulates EEG Functional Connectivity During Subsequent Time Estimation: A Comparative Study Between Musicians and Non-Musicians</a>,” was authored by Julieta Ramos-Loyo, Luis P. Ruiz Gómez, and Sergio I. Rivera-Tello.
